“A TEACHER!”

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that, the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Titus 3:3-4 

PRE-AMBLE by Robert
These teachings are from the Apostle Paul to the Disciple Titus on who he should ordinate, I am using Matthew Henry’s (1662 – 1774) commentary: “The matter of ministers’ teaching:, namely, those before mentioned: not Jewish fables and traditions, but the truths and duties of the gospel, of avoiding sin, and living soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world. Observe, Ministers in their preaching must keep close to the word of God. If any man speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God, (1 Peter 4:11,) and not the figments and inventions of his own brain.
This article is revealing what it is going to take for all to be effective teachers of Yeshua’s word. In this oratory from Paul to Titus, we can see as individuals the measure of our walk. Some will say, those instructions were for Bishops and officers of the Assemblies, not the members, as there is less required of them. Leaders are to set the scene and teach accordingly. Perhaps if you listen closely to these individuals you will hear the worldly teachings that God is Love and forgives all.
We are going to find the important, one individual can play in setting the stage for each individual within the Assembly. There will be more knowledge of using one’s faith after learning how to deepen it. The importance of our demonstration is revealed for us to use as a reflection in the mirror of self-examination of our walk as an example.

OPENING PRAYER by Robert

Heavenly Father, bring our lives into unison with Yeshua’s teachings and guidance out of the darkness ahead. I pray Father not one believes they have all the answers and humble themselves before you Father. I ask Father that you release discernment and recognition unto all of our minds, that we may be safe and strengthened as we go forward in Your name. Lord bring us insight and courage to stand as bright Beacons drawing many unto your light in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead. Fill us with your wisdom that we might share it as your love and compassion for those lost, confused, as well as lacking in their relationship with You Lord. We pray this in your name Yeshua AMEN AND AMEN

OPENING STATEMENT by Robert

Someone queried me why I continue releasing articles as they noticed there are not many reading them. They also stated there are not many in the group or as friends on Face book. My reply went as follows. I shared what as an individual sharing Yeshua’s word should strive to compare himself to, that which Titus ascribed a Bishop should be. Please note: From Titus 1:8-10 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy temperate. Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision. Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake? Titus also warned in Titus 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish Fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

One thing I found, in all the research over the last 12 years. One person devoted to their walk, holding fast to their passionate beliefs, can inspire great numbers of people. People, they may never meet but will have an influence on, through their dedicated determination.

Bringing one soul to a relationship with Yeshua, to me is, spiritually sitting with Yeshua, at the well, and as an obedient servant, fetching a drink for God’s children who are spiritually thirsty for truth. But don’t know about the living water which will quench their spiritual thirst.

I am shown through my, newly found gift of, eyes of faith, not only am I able to see our Lord working in the lives of His children but witness, angels rejoicing. when one child’s soul is turned to God Luke 15:10.

When it is recognized, we are constantly engaged in a spiritual battle, “one dedicated advanced guard, one Fisher of Men, one Disciple, one dedicated believer.” Demonstrating the power of true “imboldened faith.” Will inspire those who hold to faith, there is another level of faith they, too, can draw on, which brings on boldness to present their walk as a “dedicated victory.” 

When we encounter those without the spirit, keep in mind they are God’s children who are lost and are reacting to what they have been shown by Satan is pleasurable. We are all children in Gods eyes and must be seen and approached as His children.

CLOSING PRAYER by Robert

 Father in heaven, hear this petition placed before your throne. Strengthen those who have listened to your Son so they might as he did in your eyes deny himself and did not fear taking up his cross in your name Lord. Build within them Father the knowledge of your promises your word and oath to draw them to walk in righteousness as Yeshua has laid out for them. Fill them with your compassion so they may become a reflection of your light demonstrating your teachings as the Shepherds you desire them to be This I pray in the name of Yeshua, Amen and, Amen. 

CLOSING STATEMENT by Robert 

“But after that, the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared.“ 

This sentence raised a deep question, I recognized our Father was speaking about Yeshua being sacrificed. The question was how did those in the world after Yeshua was no longer present appear to those children who Paul revealed to Titus who like, “Ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another?” 

What special person was it, who appeared in our lives, and presented that cup which held the living water for us to sip on? Had God touched them to be a Fisher of Men, A Beacon on the Hill, A Disciple, or just a dedicated soul sharing the Living Water? What demonstration of their walk brought us into the light broke the scales from our eyes, removed the plugs from our ears, opened our mind to receive the truth and draw us from Satan’s imprisonment?

When I look at God’s children who remain in the world under Satan’s captivity I pray for the Lord to allow me to see what it is that has captured their souls. I base that prayer on the information the Holy Spirit revealed to me earlier in this article. God sees all of us as His children some in His Flock as sheep flourishing in the green pastures He has placed us in. 

The other of God’s children have been lead by a false spirit into the wilderness, giving Satan an advantage as the tempter. As he has them alone no friend to assist in prayer when he places his temptations before them. Observe, in an earlier article, we were shown our vulnerability comes due to ignorance of our Enemies strengths. 

This knowledge is important, as we become the kindness and love of God appearing in their lives, knowledge which temptation the Tempter has placed before them. Knowing, what places so much fulfilment in their lives, they willingly turn their backs on God? Is it one of the three basics in man’s foundation without God, Money, or Health, and finally Vanity (the world’s opinion)? Or is it all three or some other combination which allows them to reject God’s teachings? 

As people, It is bad not to do good ourselves; but it is worse to hinder those who would do good. Those cautions and counsels are most likely to be accepted, which are seasoned with love. Follow that which is good, for he that doeth good, as delighting therein, is born of God. Evil-workers vainly pretend or boast acquaintance with God. Let us not follow that which is proud, selfish, and of bad design, though the example may be given by persons of rank and power; but let us be followers of God, and walk-in love, after the example of our Lord.

Have you ever been around sheep? I have and because I have and understand why God calls us His sheep. Amazing I watched the flock stand by a pool of water and not one of them went to drink until one was lead to the pool to drink than the rest followed. I saw how stubborn and unmoving they can be. As well how at times they are oblivious to the danger which surrounds them. I witnessed with a show of strength on your part, how easy it was to lead them into an area you wanted them to be. I observed once they were in a pasture how contented they were just to graze on the grass because it was green and lush.

I pondered on this thought process, we as humans believe once we’re educated we have obtained a new level of understanding which gives us independence and control of our lives. What comes to mind is Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Our Father sees us as sheep, and we wonder why? Here is where our earlier observation, of one of the flock, having to be lead to the pool to drink is revealing. 

Which pool and pasture are those being lead going to? The next question is, [Whose] leading them to the pool? What is this leader’s agenda, and where have these leaders obtained their wisdom from? What story did they share, which influenced some of the flock to follow them to that particular pool and pasture? 

It is shown Yeshua sat at a well and revealed to a Samaritan woman there are two types of water to be obtained one where we are sustained in the flesh, but will always need that water. The other is “living water,” which quenches our thirst forever. He even identifies how and who you can obtain this water from. 

Our earlier observation about the sheep being stubborn and unmoving comes into play here. As in John 4:11, Sir, you don’t have anything to use to get water, and the well is deep. In John 4:14 reveals to the woman who can lead her to this water. “But those who drink the water that I will give them will never become thirsty again. In fact, the water, I will give them will become in them a spring that gushes up to eternal life.” 

So, here we are through this woman’s next statement in John 4:15 seeing how through her passive innocence like the sheep is unaware of the spiritual danger she is walking in. “Sir give me this water! Then I won’t get thirsty or have to come here to get water.” 

There are two pools to drink from. And as such there are two who lead those desiring to drink to those pools. Here, we see the pastures of green grass flourishing in both, and when we look into these pastures, we see one where the sheep graze in contentment, and occasionally one is lead to the pool as an example for the others to drink. The other pasture is lush and green, and the flock grazes leisurely. However, we notice there is no pool, yet the flock is content and continues to graze. 

The answer to the initial question is who is leading the sheep to the pool and what story was used to convince those of the flock to follow this leader to the pasture with the pool. The caution here is as we become learned, we do not become easily lead by those who want to as trusting sheep bring us to their pool to drink from continuously.

In our wisdom, if we as a part of the flock, recognize as a one of the sheep, there are those who don’t need to go to the pool to drink, and perhaps check with them, “why?”

It is a great pleasure when one of the sheep in the pasture recognizes I no longer go to the pool and queries “why.” When we share how the spring within sustains us and the peace it brings for us to be in this Shepherd’s pasture. Able to graze leisurely without fear knowing there is nothing to fear and there will be even greener pastures to graze in. 

I through the “Eyes of Faith,” now see my Shepherd watching over His flock of sheep, am filled with overwhelming joy as I see and hear the angels rejoicing as another sheep joins the flock because I shared from my spring that they may never thirst again and will graze in peace. 

Remember, these messages are given by a humble servant obedient unto our Lord Yeshua as a “Watchman.” This I pray for all. ”Our Heavenly Father brings us to the river which bringeth forth fruit so we may partake of its sustenance and be filled spiritually with nurturing wisdom, and humble dedication in service to Yeshua.“ “Blessings to All.” As you go forward in peace, knowledge, and strength. In the name of Yeshua, we pray Amen and Amen.

FINDING YOURSELF IN THE WILDERNESS!

When we find ourselves in different life situations which spiritually appear as wilderness, there is an extreme example we can draw on. Knowing that trouble in our regular day to day life can be overcome by relying faithfully on the “words of God.” Thus being proven through the temptations Satan put upon Yeshua who relied upon the words of God in faith knowing His Father was with him. Yeshua knew that when he spoke “man should not live by bread alone” His Father was right there for Him. Yeshua knew when stated “we should not tempt God” His Father was there for Him. Yeshua knew when he rebuked Satan His Father was there with him. 

Each temptation was a measure of Yeshua’s Faith as it would be for me, you or all in the world, believer or non-believer. I recognize these are personal temptations for Yeshua. However, I too can use my faith in the words of God in any situation presented or threatened to be given in the name of evil we need to choose how to face it either spiritually or physically.     

This article is a followup to the message we received to do an audit of our faith and know where it is we stand within that Faith. We have been warned that an in-depth testing of our Faith the teachings we follow and those who are teaching is about to be upon us shortly. Thus finding yourself in the “Desert” as the saying goes being fired to see what metal you’re made of and being purified. We find ourselves currently in a spiritual desert being presented many temptations and fair speeches, and false teachings which will if accepted eat away like gangrene. If we have taken the warning to heart and conducted the audit, we will have an indication of where we stand in our faith and its’ depth and will also know how to use it against those various temptations and tribulations we’re about to be faced with.

The question, “have you been honest” about what you have found or are you placating yourself to satisfy the four fleshly desires Pride, Vanity, Luxury, and Sensuality? Here a careful assessment must be exercised on the part of all who have heard and proceeded with the audit.  I firmly believe we need to go back to the basics of our belief: https://i0.wp.com/romboughrobert.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/wp-1489857334080.jpg?ssl=1&w=450

 

So in returning to the basics, the Ten Commandments we now have a blueprint to use, so we stay in the spirit and not fall into the fleshly walk of Pride, Vanity, Luxury, and Sensuality. 

Each commandment is a guideline an example “Neither shall thou steal.” What immediately comes to mind is physical items which might be possessed. We need to go deeper with all the commandments and recognize; there can be theft in the spirit as well. The best example I can cite here is adultery which can be committed in the heart Matthew 5:28, But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. I believe the Lord is asking us to consider our Spiritual actions as part of our audit not just what we recognize as physical deeds. The commandments are the foundation by which we truly need to build our walk with Yeshua. The teachings of the Holy Spirit through the Scriptures will develop our Faith and will light the Lord’s footsteps for us to follow. They will assist in the defining of our position with Yeshua.

Remember I stated in the first article this audit is a personal one, as is our walk with Yeshua since no two walks will be the same nor should they be.  However, the resulting ending to those walks will have the same results judgment before God’s throne whether believer or nonbeliever.

Yeshua details the blessings one will receive spiritually if we place our foot in His footprints but also cautions what to expect if you do choose to follow His teachings and proceed in His footsteps (Matthew 5:10-11) Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. v11) Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. So armed with this knowledge when doing your audit understand the deeper you go with it, the greater the revile is going to be but as well the blessings. Here is a look at what is to come for those who do not walk with the Lord Spiritually. Including those who believe they are walking in Salvation but have not confirmed their walk is in the Spirit and not the flesh. They may find when the temptations and tribulations confront them they are walking in Pride, Vanity, Luxury, and Sensuality which the Father sees as a form of personal idolatry.  

The Lord speaks about those who do not walk Spiritually, in Ezekiel 14:1-8 and in 2Peter 2:1-22. Here is a glimpse in 2Peter 2:22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his vomit again, and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. 

Initially, I wondered why the Lord had included all in this message through preceding verses it is becoming manifest His love for all is apparent yet we know many will miss finding it.

John Gill (23 Nov 1697 – 14 Oct 1771) English Baptist writer and theologian identifies those who would be a godly man according to the notation of the word is one that has received grace and mercy of the Lord, as pardoning mercy, justifying and adopting grace; and who has principles of grace, goodness, and holiness, wrought in him; who fears the Lord, and serves him acceptably, with reverence and godly fear, and sorrows for sin, after a godly sort; who loves the Lord, and hopes and believes in him; who are regenerated and sanctified by the Spirit of God, and is a true worshipper of God and lives in all holy conversation and godliness; and particularly is “beneficent”, “kind”, and “merciful” unto men: such may be said “cease” when there are but a few of them; when their number is greatly reduced either by death or when such have seemed, and have been thought to be so, prove otherwise: in view of which, the Psalmist prays for help and salvation.

Matthew Henry identifies what would be considered making the times bad. Ask the children of the world what it is in their account that makes the times bad, and they will tell you, Scarcity of money, the decay of trade, and the desolations of war make the times dangerous. But the Scripture lays the badness of the times upon causes of another nature. We see those causes described by Matthew Henry in 2Timothy 3: Men love to gratify their own lusts, more than to please God and do their duty. When every man is eager for what he can get and anxious to keep what he has, this makes men dangerous to one another. When men do not fear God, they will not regard man. When children are disobedient to their parents, that makes the times perilous. Men are unholy and without the fear of God, because unthankful for the mercies of God. We abuse God’s gifts if we make them the food and fuel of our lusts.   

CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert

When you look at the definitions and see how they possibly apply to today’s society, it is not difficult to understand why Yahweh is calling us back to His laws. I see one man from the 17th Century describing what a God loving, fearing person should be. The second specifying what a person who is walking contrary to God’s calling would appear as. Both I believe what they were identifying describes our society and its current walk with God. They unknowingly I am surmising have identified what Political Correctness has brought us in 2Timothy 3: For men shall be lovers of their selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful. Unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; from such turn away.

Now looking at this description, I can see our modern day politicians, country leaders journalists, environmentalists, Judges, those caught up in environmental movements in this group, some of the leaders in the Worldly churches, but more than anything many of the population. 

Remember I am just the messenger and obedient servant of our Lord Yeshua. I publish what he shows me I believe even though we have been called to clean up our act and get back to walking with Yahweh in his laws being saved by Grace.

God’s blessings to all and may he bring the spirits of discernment and understanding upon all who read so what is revealed will be nourishment for your spirits and food for the soul.

Amen

ARE YOU A BEACON OR A FLICKER OF LIGHT?

But the path of the just is as the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. (Proverbs 4:18)

PRE-AMBLE by Robert 

I open this article as I have others with a prayer to our Father in thanks for those who answered His call to War as prayer warriors. And those who are seeking the narrow path to eternal life and peace?

OPENING PRAYER by Robert

I pray Father you continue to keep them safe and strengthen their fervor to succeed in overturning the evil before us remove all the spirits of confusion and division working through our great nations. Lord, I pray you will further deepen the hedge around our leaders and will continue removing the spirits of confusion, strife and discord from their minds and filling them with discernment and wisdom and a peaceful demeanor. I pray, Father, for those doing battle in your Name that you would continue raining down insight, understanding, and an intense fervor to uphold your victories and your words. I pray this in the name of Yeshua Amen and Amen. 

Amongst all the craziness being displayed over the last 18 months, there has been a dark pall building over the USA and Canada and their peoples. As the debates take place, you can sense the darkness descending over North America. The leaders and some pundits realize their country and the very principles it’s founded on are being challenged, but are unable to discern by whom or why. James 3:16 for where envying and strife are, there is confusion and every evil work. 

THE FIRST TRUMPETER’S CALL

A shroud of darkness has taken hold of the people with its many hidden influences and temptations which are manifesting into reality; adding to the various Spiritual battles already being waged. The way through the darkness will be painful as many won’t have a light for discernment and guidance. Many will succumb to the hidden temptations within the shroud which has enveloped the multitudes.  

It is essential at this time all followers of Yeshua come together. And realize their walk is going to be ever so important. As shown in Isaiah 30:17 “One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.“  

Our support has to be guided and aimed at helping each other as an army of prayer warriors; adhering to the teachings shown in 1 Peter 2:13-17. 

Matthew Henry’s (1662 – 1774) Commentary lays out a plan “A Christian conversation must be honest, which it cannot be if there is not a just and careful discharge of all relative duties: the apostle here treats of these distinctly. Regard to these functions is the will of God, consequently, the Christians duty, and the way to silence the base slanders of ignorant and foolish men. Christians must endeavor, in all relations, to behave aright, that they do not make their liberty a cloak or covering for any wickedness, or for the neglect of duty; but they must remember that they are servants of God.“

Above is a formula which makes us Beacons on the mountain which can be used to bring forward the words given to us in Joshua 23:10 “One man of you shall chase a thousand for the Lord your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.“

HERE ENDS THE TRUMPETER’S CALL

The days of darkness truly are upon the World and its citizens. As followers of Yeshua, we need to become BEACONS from afar that our brothers and sisters can bring peace back to their country and lives. My question to all followers of  “Yeshua,”  World Wide are you a Beacon or just a flicker of light?  Having won one battle and another looms before us as Prayer Warriors we must Identify ourselves as standing on the mountains as Beacons and not just flickers of light. 

CLOSING PRAYER by Robert

Heavenly Father I come before thee as a humble servant and place before you, your Prayer Warriors and ask that you would strengthen them guide them protect them and most of all fill them with discernment that they may go forward in your name as bright Beacons illuminating the path to peace and eternal life. Amen and Amen 

CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert 

Brothers and Sisters lift up your prayers begin the battle let your Beacons shine brightly so many might find the path to peace, unity and Eternal life. Discover within your walk the strength Yeshua demonstrated for us to understand what it means to be a “Modern Day Disciple”. Seek the wisdom God has offered us through the Holy Spirit which provides Yeshua’s light through his words, teachings and comforting. Know, we enter into battle each day by reflecting God’s light to attract those in servitude to Satan and offering them freedom and eternal life.

Remember, these articles are from a devoted servant of Yeshua as a Watchman doing His bidding to deliver His warnings. May our Father be with you bless you as you go forward in His name. Go forward bravely but as wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove.

March 25th 2023, PRAYER. “PRESENT OUR BODIES AS LIVING SACRIFICES!”

“THE SOUL AND LIFE OF EVERY SIN ARE SOME LUST OF OUR OWN”!

PREAMBLE: I am letting all know this writing is lengthy, I ask that you read the links in the order they fall with the main body. Each of these links contains information which supports and fills in the gaps. You may need to re-read this a few times as there is a mountain of information and tools available in order to discern their proper use while you continue your journey. I pray this article convicts and blesses you as it has me. 

OPENING PRAYER by Robert:

Heavenly Father I present before your throne these petitions to be heard on behalf of those who are committing their walk to your footprints. I ask Father you would fill them with discernment, understanding, commitment to you faithfully, the spirit of endurance, the sense of foresight. Bring them strength, courage which removes the feeling of fear, that they might face the enemy with confidence. Most of all Father remove from them the spirits of arrogance, pride, and self-centeredness, self-regard, self-interest, and those spirits Father that represent the temptations of the flesh which would draw them from your word and the narrow path to life. Which I pray in your name Yeshua Amen and Amen. 

OPENING STATEMENT by Robert: 

The Holy Spirit has brought some truths one being our bodies are a Temple housing our Spirit along with the Spirit of God who comes and goes through our Temple. The question was “how well are you keeping your Temple”? The second truth our bodies are our worst enemy and need to be brought under control instead of allowing it to control us. We need to put it in submission and working to bring the inner man into contact with the outer world and enable him to influence it. The following link which was published earlier as a warning I believe will reveal what lies ahead for us to battle while bringing our body into submission. Having prior knowledge of our enemy only adds to our ability to defeat him and his temptations. Like a friend tells me (she calls Satan brother Lou) will rear his ugly head when least expected, thank you, “Victoria.” 

https://romboughrobert.wordpress.com/2015/12/16/storm-clouds/

Later in this article, we will see through James what his statement really means when he defines how we should be using our faith.  He related from James 1:1-11 “James taught that it is necessary to put outward actions with inward faith or else that kind of faith will accomplish nothing.” 

The Holy Spirit brought me an answer to the question “to bring my body under control” what am I fighting and how am I going to do battle? The Apostle Paul related that we must continuously do battle with the temptations and be sincere spiritually right to when we pass into eternity. And if need-be spiritually make the body black and blue emphasizing the depth we might have to resort to spiritually to defeat the deceits and lusts our bodies will present to us as part of the world.  The following link was published  in 2015 as a warning to the children of God you will see the craftiness subtleties applied to disguise the temptations:

https://romboughrobert.wordpress.com/2015/12/31/recognizing-our-pitfalls/

The answer the Holy Spirit brought to me as the method to fight the temptations and desires of the body with the fervor of Paul combined with the wisdom of James should become the foundation for all our battles current and future. The following link is a past warning which I believe applies to this writing in many ways. I think having this knowledge ahead of time allows us to prepare a plan of attack which will bring us to success against the temptations which befall us continually. Confirming what Paul related be determined and constant in our spiritual battles. 

https://romboughrobert.wordpress.com/2015/12/24/understanding-our-position/

In James 1:1-11 he revealed, “Yeshua reproves us to be joyful under troubles: such exercises are sent from God’s love, and trials in the way of duty will brighten our graces now, and our crown at last.” Matthew Henry Oct 18, 1662, to June 22, 1774, commentary explains: Let us take care, in times of trial, that patience, and not passion, is set to work in us: whatever is said or done, let patience have the saying and doing of it. When the work of patience is complete, it will furnish all that is necessary for our Christian race and warfare. We should not pray so much for the removal of affliction, as for wisdom to make the right use of it. And who does not want wisdom to guide him under trials, both in regulating his spirit and in managing his affairs? Here is something in answer to every discouraging turn of the mind, when we go to God under a sense of our weakness and folly. If, after all, any should say, this may be the case with some, but I fear I shall not succeed, the promise is, to any that asketh, it shall be given. A mind that has single and prevailing regard to its spiritual and eternal interest, and that keeps steady in its purposes for God, will grow wise by afflictions, will continue fervent in devotion, and rise above trials and oppositions.   

https://romboughrobert.wordpress.com/2018/04/17/spiritual-discernment/

When our faith and spirits rise and fall with second causes, there will be unsteadiness in our words and actions. This may not always expose men to contempt in the world, but as such ways cannot please God. No condition of life is such as to hinder rejoicing in God. 

In contrast to those who are walking on the broad path. Peter points out what contentions our bodies could and possibly will bring forward as temptations, lusts, and worldly desires mainly pleasures of the flesh, luxury, self-indulgence, pride, self-importance, and many others. Which only committing one will knock us off the narrow path. Isaiah revealed in his identification of the walk on the Road of Holiness what would prevent anyone from walking as unclean under the law. Now, we must recognize Salvation, and we live under Grace. However, that does not give us permission to wantonly or openly sin and expect forgiveness to return to the narrow path. When we are born again in the spirit, we are taught to go forward but sin no more. It is here we learn that it becomes our responsibility to move forward by working out our Salvation and letting go of our worldly connections.

CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert

My Soul is bursting at the seams filled with knowledge and spiritual weapons which will fill all the gaps I need to clean my Temple and bring my body under submission. The joy I feel is Our Heavenly Father has through His love for me placed all this before me through the Holy Spirit. The meaning of working out my Salvation and finding that narrow Path or as Isaiah calls it “The Way of Holiness” doesn’t seem so impossible anymore. The challenges I know remain however are not as challenging any more as Like Yeshua when confronted by the Devil with the temptations like Him I know the Father is there with me giving power to the words “GET BEHIND ME SATAN.” 

CLOSING PRAYER by Robert 

“OH” Joy, Joy heavenly Father I thank you for filling my soul with your strength and powers, bringing peace and compassion unto me. Taking from me the spirits of fear uncertainty, confusion, and despair replacing them with confidence, surety knowledge, and understanding through the leading and teachings of the Holy Spirit. So I know my journey through this life will be a continuous battle. However, your Love will be there to protect cover and guide me forward at all times. Praise be to the Glory of God and Yeshua. In their names Amen and Amen. 

May you go forward in Peace wrapped in God’s Wings comforting and protecting you through the day’s ahead as you walk on “The Road of Holiness.” As like the rain which nourishes the world may God’s blessings rain upon you to feed your spirit and souls.

“ADOPTION”!

Yeshua saith unto him, I am the way the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)
What know ye not that he which is joined to a harlot is one body? For two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. (1 Cor. 6:16-17.)

PRE-AMBLE by Robert

Do we utterly understand what is involved when we are adopted and joined to Yeshua through Salvation? Is it clear who in the past we were spiritually attached to as described in the book of Revelation 17:1-15 and who it is we are being adopted by and what will come through the adoption? Indeed, we are shown the gifts and where we will receive them and what they will mean to us when we do. However, there is more to this adoption and what it will bring to us in the future. As we can see through the visions, John relates to us in the book of Revelation 17:1-15.

Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) in commentary describes what an adoptee (believer) is about to receive here in this life. “Unto every believer is given some gift of grace, for their

mutual help. All is given as seems best to Christ to bestow upon everyone. He received for them that he might give to them a large measure of gifts and graces, particularly the gift of the Holy Ghost. Not a mere head knowledge, or bare acknowledging Yeshua to be the Son of God, but such as brings trust and obedience. There is a fullness in Yeshua, and a measure of that fulness given in the counsel of God to every believer; but we never come to the perfect measure till we come to heaven. God’s children are growing, as long as they are in this world; and the Christian’s growth tends to the glory of Yeshua.

The more a man finds himself drawn out to improve in his station, and according to his measure, all that he has received, to the spiritual good of others, he may the more certainly believe that he has the grace of sincere love and charity rooted in his heart.”
OPENING PRAYER by Robert

Father in heaven, through humility and a lack of understanding we come before your throne to petition for the following. Bring into our walk knowledge, discernment, a spirit of acceptance of your truths as they are revealed to us through the Holy Spirit. Fill us with the courage to move forward as adopted children connected to Yeshua as one. Protect and provide for us Father as we continue our journey to your Eternal life and Glory as adopted children in your family of saints. This we pray in the name of Yeshua Amen and Amen.
OPENING STATEMENT by Robert

The Holy Spirit brought me to Ephesians to see and relate a warning given to Ephesus by Paul so we will not fall into the same pitfalls as they did. Paul In Ephesians 2:1-3 provides a description of those pitfalls we need to be aware of as “Modern Day Disciples,” I am previewing V3 for us to see the depth of the warning. “Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Paul charged the Ephesians and is charging us Yeshua’s “Modern Day Disciples” in the name and by the authority of our Lord Yeshua, “That having

professed the gospel, they/we should not be as the unconverted Gentiles, who walked in vain fancies and carnal affections. Do not men, on every side, walk in the vanity of their minds? Must not we then urge the distinction between real and nominal Christians/Believers? They were/are void of all saving knowledge; they sat in darkness and loved it rather than light. They have a dislike and hatred to a life of holiness, which is not only the way of life God requires and approves, and by which we live to him, but which has some likeness to God himself in his purity, righteousness, truth, and goodness. The fact of Yeshua appears in its beauty and power when it appears as in Yeshua. The corrupt nature is called a man; like the human body, it is of divers parts, supporting and strengthening one another. Sinful desires are deceitful lusts; they promise men happiness but render them more miserable; and bring them to destruction, if not subdued and mortified. These,

therefore, must be put off, as an old garment, a filthy garment; they must be overcome and mortified. But it is not enough to shake off corrupt principles; we must have gracious ones. By the new man, is meant the unique nature, the new creature, directed by a new faith, even regenerating grace, enabling a man to lead a new life of righteousness and holiness. This is created, or brought forth by God’s almighty power.
I see this as the acknowledgment of being adopted into the family and connected to Yeshua as one. Now hearing from Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) it is revealed how to accept the adoption into the family and be received into the arms of Yeshua becoming as one. “Notice the

particulars wherewith we should adorn our Believers profession. Take heed of everything contrary to truth. No longer flatter or deceive others. God’s people are children who will not lie, who dare not lie, who hate and abhor lying. Take heed of anger and ungoverned passions. If there is just occasion to express displeasure at what is wrong and to reprove, see that it be without sin. We give place to the devil, when the first motions of sin are not grievous to our souls; when we consent to them; and when we repeat an evil deed. This teaches that as sin, if yielded unto, lets in the devil upon us, we are to resist it, keeping from all appearance of evil. Idleness makes thieves. Those who will not work, expose themselves to temptations to steal. Men ought to be industrious, that they may do some good, and that they may be kept from temptation. They must labor, not only that they may live honestly, but that they may have to give to the wants of others. What then must we think of those who today are called Christians, who grow rich by fraud, oppression, and deceitful practices! Alms, to be accepted of God, must not be gained by unrighteousness and robbery, but by honesty and industry. God hates robbery for burnt-offerings.”
Could Paul have been some 2000+ years been describing our modern day churches and the Hirelings overseeing them as leaders? Could Paul of been describing the hoards who are walking in a delusion of who their worldly god of love is and who they are portraying their Messia is and end up as merchandise.

CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert
In closing, I desire to express how I feel personally as an adopted child of our Lord. What I recognize through these offerings and teachings from the Holy Spirit and the Apostles of old is what indeed is essential in our walk to be Adopted into the family and connected to Yeshua. We are cautioned as “Modern Day Disciples” on how to handle the Word of God using dedication, sincerity, and integrity.
Recognizing the craftiness, subtleness, cunning, underhand dealing the enemy will use as “fiery darts” (https://romboughrobert.wordpress.com/2017/09/19/one-fiery-dart/ knowing if any hit home the result is revealed in 2Corinthians 11:3 “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should not be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Yeshua“.

To me, Adoption brings me an understanding of what lies ahead. The Adopted believer not only is well assured by faith that there is another, and happy life after this is ended, but he has good hope, through grace, of heaven as a dwelling-place, a resting-place, a hiding-place. In our Father’s house, there are many mansions, whose Builder and Maker is God.
The happiness of the future state is what God has prepared for those that love him: everlasting habitations, not like the earthly tabernacles, these poor cottages of clay, in which our souls now dwell; whose foundations are in the dust.
Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) relates “Death will strip us of the clothing of flesh, and all the comforts of life, as well as end all our troubles here below. But believing souls shall be clothed with garments of praise, with robes of righteousness and

glory. The present graces and comforts of the Spirit are earnests of everlasting grace and compassion. And though God is with us here, by his Spirit, and in his ordinances, yet we are not with him as we hope to be. Faith is for this world, and sight is for the other world. It is our duty, and it will be our interest, to walk by faith, until we live by sight. This shows clearly the happiness to be enjoyed by the souls of believers when absent from the body, and where Yeshua makes known his glorious presence. We are related to the body and as Adoptees to the Lord; each claims a part in us. But how much more powerfully the Lord pleads for having the soul of the believer firmly united with himself! Thou art one of the souls I have loved and chosen; one of those given to me. What is death, as an object of fear, compared with being absent from the Lord!
As an Adoptee I recognize, all who are designed for heaven hereafter are wrought

or prepared for heaven while they are here. The stones of that spiritual building and temple above are squared and fashioned here below. And he that has wrought us for this is God because nothing less than a divine power can work us for this thing. A great deal is to be done to prepare our souls for heaven, and that preparation of the heart is from the Lord.
CLOSING PRAYER by Robert
Father in heaven we are humbly thankful for your grace and love being d

emonstrated through our Adoption and connection to Yeshua. We thank you for the wisdom, discernment, and recognition of the wiles of the enemy which would affect how we handle your word. We bring praise before your throne in acknowledgment of preparation you are doing in us through the Holy Spirit and teachings of the Apostles of Old for our passing into eternal life and heaven. This we pray in the name of Yeshua Amen and Amen.
Remember these articles are just messages of a humble, obedient Servant called to

be a Watchman sounding the Trumpet to the make the flock aware. God’s blessings to those who hear the Trumpet. And know true messengers cannot be delegated they must have the spirit of God in them as Peter did when, with eyes full of heavenly light and heart glowing with sacred fire, declared Yeshua, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God!” May God bring blessings to all who walk in the name of Yeshua as Adopted children. “Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord; (For we walk by faith, not by sight). We are confident, I say, and willing rather be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.” (2Corinthians 5:6-8)

RECOGNIZING OUR PITFALLS! (Revised)

DECLARATION by Robert
Let me be clear, if you are here, looking to have your ears tickled, you’re in the wrong place. Unless of course, you are tired of living an empty existence, being placated, and seen as merchandise. But are looking to learn how to have a personal relationship with Yeshua, then I pray, you will find what you’re seeking, through the messages offered here.

Our current times are becoming more and more evil and dangerous both physically and in some cases spiritually Matt. 10:28. These temptations have been functioning for 6 years.  Initial warning; one of the temptations recognized was the spirit of complacency, supported by pride and haughtiness, utilized by the spirit known as Luxurious sin http://romboughrobert.com/2021/01/23/luxurious-sins/.

This written warning was first published in 2015.  

OPENING STATEMENT by Robert.

The clouds deepened in their demeanor appearing more massive as temptations were making up the composition of the shadows. I could see they were dividing themselves into what seemed to be various categories almost like they were taking on a life of their own and then I realized they actually were.

The temptations were becoming more visible and appeared more appealing and majestic, their subtleties more evident however were alluring, enticing, inviting, and seductive, They were swirling and blending into the vapors of the cloud, becoming as one but not losing their appeal, identity or purpose.

What I could see, was the identity of the temptations in their mingled state. However, their identifiable functions were becoming less and less distinguishable, yet more appealing and acceptable.

FIRST TRUMPET: 1Corinthians 10: v.6 Now these things were our example, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. v.7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them: as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. v.8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. v.9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them tempted and were destroyed of serpents. v.10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured and were destroyed of the destroyer.

The clouds continued to swirl deeper inward, and I could see there were many standing within these temptations, believing they were safe and untouchable by the attractions within. People were demonstrating an arrogance towards what was before them not recognizing their position and the consequences of their actions.

SECOND TRUMPET: 1Corinthians 10: v.12  Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. As the clouds began to reveal the temptations I could see no one was exempt from being touched and drawn into the appeal of the temptations. I saw there was a division developing among those within the clouds which was creating a scene of confusion and despair; causing many to reach out to those who appeared as leaders causing them to pull away from Christ their true Rock.

THIRD TRUMPET: 1Corinthians v. 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to men: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. v14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

CLOSING PRAYER by Robert

My prayers go out to all who hear the Trumpeters Call I ask the Lord to bring discernment through the Holy Spirit, I pray that Yeshua will fill all with the spirit of courage knowledge and submission unto Him. This I pray in the name of Yeshua. Amen & Amen. God be with you in your tribulations.

“OBEDIENCE” “WHERE, ARE YOU IN IT?”

“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness. Romans 6:16

PRE-AMBLE by Robert

These articles like a puzzle bring together multiple bits and pieces of spiritual information, for all to use as assessments of where they stand in their personal relationship with our Father (God) and His Son (Yeshua). Interestingly enough as I have researched each article, I’m recognizing my life and walk are being affected as it should be. What I am researching now is showing me I have taken too much time concerning myself with the events occurring in this world both economically and politically. However, as our Lord put it in Matthew 6:27 and I know I am not alone in this, small stumble, because I have heard, “but it’s human, that you care about the things we are living with these days.” In answer, “Yeshua,” through the Holy Spirit gently pointed me to this: “Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? V:27 “Very humbling!”

In this article, we will learn what Our Lord Yeshua meant by these words. We will be shown what our real walk with Him should be. But as well what lies ahead for those who do listen, learn, and walk in obedience to His teachings through the Holy Spirit. What lies ahead will assuredly bring disturbing information, but rightfully, needed to effect correction within our reasoning and our genuine commitment we recognize as Obedience. The Holy Spirit has some eye-opening soul-shaking lessons in store as we move forward in our walk on the narrow path.

OPENING PRAYER by Robert. 

Heavenly Father reveal to us, what we need to understand to be in your presence now and in eternity. We know Lord the unrighteous shall not be there, explain to us Father our position in your eyes. We know Lord we are not to be deceived or commit grievous acts fornication, idolatries, or abuse of ourselves in any manner or those within our world and lives, nor should we be drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners. Bring us your divine knowledge so we might fight these temptations. Strengthen us Lord so we might walk in your light and your name. Share with us Father a deep spirit of seeking wisdom to acknowledge being obedient to your calling us to follow your laws. We pray this in your name Yeshua, Amen and Amen.

OPENING STATEMENT by Robert

There is scarcely any one sin against which our Lord Yeshua more largely and earnestly warned His disciples. Or against which he armed them with more variety of arguments than the sin of disquieting, distracting, and distrustful cares about the things of life, which are a bad sign, both the treasure and the heart are on worldly events.

We hear from John Gill (1697 – 1771) some pointed comments “Which of you by taking thought, As Yeshua argued before, from the unnecessariness of anxious thoughts and cares, about the provisions of life, so here, from the unprofitableness of them, it is impossible for a man, with all his care and thought, to add one cubit unto his stature. Or “to his age,” so the word is rendered (John 9:21) to the days of his life, he is so solicitous about.” Just a quick note here according to (Misn. Erubim, c 4. sect. 5. & Negaim, c. 13. sect. 11. Bartenora) The stature of an ordinary man is three cubits.  Taking into consideration this measure was first used in the 14th Century, it was based on the length of the forearm from the middle finger and usually equal to about 18 inches (46 Centimeters). [Merriam-Webster Dictionary].  

The sense of the word is this, that no man, by all the care and thought he could make use of, is ever able to add one cubit or the least measure to his days, he cannot lengthen out his life one year, one month, one day, one hour, no, not one moment. 

The commentary as mentioned earlier shows we should take no thought for our life. Not about the length of it; but refer it to God to lengthen or shorten as he pleases; recognize our times are in his hands, and in good hands they are. We should not fret about the comforts of this life, but leave it to God to make it bitter or sweet as he pleases.  

It is here where there is a form of separation of those who are awakened in the spirit and those who remain idle and indifferent. When the Lord declared “The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand,” The Apostle Matthew reported; Yeshua went up into the mountain, “perhaps” for the purpose of   selecting His audience, The idle and indifferent would stay down on the plain, only those who were in some measure stirred in spirit would follow Him. As Yeshua climbed the steep ascent from the shore of the lake to the plateau above and in their minds they would in all probability be revolving around such questions as these: 1).”What is this kingdom, what advantages does it offer, and who are the people that belong to it? 2). What is required of those that belong to it? What are its laws and obligations?” And if these two questions were answered satisfactorily, a third would naturally follow. 3). “How may those who desire to share its privileges and assume its obligations become citizens of it?” These accordingly, are the three great questions dealt with in succession. 

In correlation with the three questions, we researched what Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) had to say about obedience and how it affects our walk and well being and fits within the first question:  Food and raiment God has promised. Therefore we may expect them. Take no thought for the morrow, for the time to come. Be not anxious for the future, how you shall live next year, or when you are old, or what you shall leave behind you. As we must not boast of tomorrow, so we must not care for tomorrow or the events of it. God has given us life and has given us the body. And what can he not do for us, who did that? If we take care of our souls and for eternity, which is more than the body and its life, we may leave it to God to provide for us food and clothing, which are less. Improve this as an encouragement to trust in God.

We must reconcile ourselves to our worldly condition, as we do to our stature. We cannot alter the disposals of Providence. Therefore we must submit and resign ourselves to them. Thoughtfulness for our souls is the best cure for the indulgence of worldly possessions. Seek first the kingdom of God, and make belief in Yeshua your business: say not this is the way to starve; no, it is the way to be well provided for, even in this world. The conclusion of the whole matter is, this is the will and command of our Lord Yeshua, by daily prayers, we will gain strength to lift us up under our daily travails and arm us against the temptations which accompany them, and then let none tempt us. Joyous are those who take the Lord for their God, and make the full witness of it through trusting themselves wholly to his wise disposal. Let your Spirit convince you of sin in the desire of this disposition, and remove the worldliness from your heart. I refer you back to the Article published September 13, 2018, “IS CONTENTMENT YOUR GAIN?” “Every sort of wickedness and vice, in one way or another, grows from the love of money.” 

Through his commentary Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) reveals what to be wary of: Our Lord next warned against hypocrisy and outward show in religious duties. What we do, must be done from an inward principle, that we may be approved of God, not that we may be praised by men. In these verses, we are cautioned against hypocrisy in giving alms. Take heed of it. It is a subtle sin; and vain-glory creeps into what we do, before we are aware. But the duty is not the less necessary and excellent for being abused by hypocrites to serve their pride. The doom Yeshua passes, at first, may seem a promise, but it is their reward; not the reward God promises to those who do good, but the reward hypocrites promise themselves, and a poor reward it is; they did it to be seen of men, and they are seen of men. When we take the least notice of our good deeds ourselves, God takes most notice of them. He will reward thee; not as a master who gives his servant what he earns, and no more, but as a Father who gives abundantly to his son that serves him.

It is taken for granted that all who are disciples of Christ pray. You may as soon find a living man that does not breathe, as a living Believer who does not pray. If prayerless, then graceless. The Scribes and Pharisees were guilty of two great faults in prayer, vain-glory, and vain repetitions. “Verily they have their reward;” if in so great a matter as is between God and us, when we are at prayer, we can look to so poor a thing as the praise of men, it is just that it should be all our reward.             

Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) relates: “Yet there is not a secret, sudden breathing after God, but he observes it. It is called a reward, but it is of grace, not of debt; what merit can there be in begging? If he does not give his people what they ask, it is because he knows they do not need it, and that it is not for their good. So far is God from being wrought upon by the length or words of our prayers, that the most powerful intercessions are those which are made with groanings that cannot be uttered. Let us well study what is shown of the frame of mind in which our prayers should be offered, and learn daily from Christ how to pray.” 

Worldly-mindedness is a common and fatal symptom of hypocrisy, for by no sin can Satan have a surer and faster hold of the soul, under the cloak of a profession of religion. Something the soul will have, which it looks upon as the best thing; in which it has pleasure and confidence above other things. Christ counsels to make our best things the joys and glories of the other world, those things not seen which are eternal, and to place our happiness in them. There are treasures in heaven. It is our wisdom to give all diligence to make our title to eternal life sure through Yeshua, and to look on all things here below, as not worthy to be compared with it, and to be content with nothing short of it. It is happiness above and beyond the changes and chances of time, an inheritance incorruptible. The worldly man is wrong in his first principle; therefore all his reasonings and actions from that place must be faulty. It is equally to be applied to false religion; that which is deemed light is thick darkness. This is awful, but a typical case; we should therefore carefully examine our leading principles by the word of God, with earnest prayer for the teaching of his Spirit. A man may do some service to two masters, but he can devote himself to the service of no more than one. God requires the whole heart, and will not share it with the world. When two masters oppose each other, no man can serve both. He who holds to the world and loves it must despise God; he who loves God must give up the friendship of the world. 

Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) encourages us to pray and states how we should approach it: Prayer is the appointed means for obtaining what we need. Pray; pray often; make a business of prayer, and be serious and earnest in it. Ask, as a beggar asks alms. Ask, as a traveler asks the way. Seek, as for a thing of value that we have lost; or as the merchantman that seeks goodly pearls. Knock, as he that desires to enter into the house knocks at the door. Sin has shut and barred the door against us; by prayer, we knock. Whatever you pray for, according to the promise, shall be given you, if God sees it fit for you, and what would you have more? This is made to apply to all that pray aright; every one that asketh receiveth, whether Jew or Gentile, young or old, rich or poor, high or low, master or servant, learned or unlearned, all are alike welcome to the throne of grace, if they come in faith. It is explained by a comparison taken from earthly parents, and their readiness to give their children what they ask. Parents are often foolishly fond, but God is all-wise; he knows what we need, what we desire, and what is fit for us. Let us never suppose our heavenly Father would bid us pray, and then refuse to hear, or give us what would be hurtful.

Nothing so much prevents men from entering the strait gate, and becoming true followers of Yeshua, as the carnal, soothing, flattering doctrines of those who oppose the truth. They may be known by the drift and effects of their theories. Some part of their temper and conduct is contrary to the mind of Christ. Those opinions come not from God that lead to sin.

CLOSING STATEMENT by Robert

I don’t think it could be any clearer what we are able to gain through true faith. What I am taking away from this research on a personal level is the following three things “ASK,” “SEEK,” “KNOCK.” Yeshua knocks at our door (Rev.3:20, Song of Solomon 5:2) and allows us to knock at His, which is a favor we do not allow common beggars. What I am seeing is seeking and knocking imply something more than asking and praying. We must not only ask but seek, we must second our prayers with our endeavors we must, in the use of the appointed means, seek for that which we ask for, else we tempt God. 

God gives knowledge and grace to those that search the scriptures, and wait at Wisdom’s gates and power against sin. We must not only ask but knock we must come to God’s door, must ask importunately not only pray but plead and wrestle with God we must seek diligently we must continue knocking must persevere in prayer, and in the use of means must endure to the end in the duty. The precept is threefold, ask, seek, knock there is precept upon precept, but the promise is sixfold, line upon line for our encouragement because a firm belief of the promise would make us cheerful and constant in our obedience. 

CLOSING PRAYER by Robert

Heavenly Father we are so thankful Lord for your promise to hear our prayer and answer according to your will. You told us Lord ask and you shall receive, you ask us to seek, and we shall find. We have sought you Lord and found you each time and give praise for you being there Father. You tell us to knock, and the door will be opened the door of mercy and grace thank you Lord for those gifts. We thank you, Father, for all things promised and received through faith. This we Pray in the name of Yeshua, Amen, and Amen. 

Remember these messages come from an obedient, “Watchmen” sounding the horn about an evil. We come to God as children to a Father in Heaven, with reverence and confidence. How naturally does a child in want or distress run to the Father with its complaints? Thus should the new nature send us to God for supports and supplies. 

May our Father bless and keep you well as our journey continues.

“MY SILENT COMPANION!”

“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. (Romans 6:16- 18)
“Our Lord laid not his life down for his doctrine, but for his sheep.” Matthew Henry (1662 -1774) commentary John 10.

PRE-AMBLE by Robert

As my journey leads me along the narrow path through this life as a pilgrim, a sense of peace has come over me, recognizing I’m not alone. My stride is sure, demonstrating confidence, but not an arrogant strut. It shows determination, supported by knowledge, wisdom, and discernment received from the Holy Spirit to arrive at the destination of Eternal Life and Peace. 

There is a constant prayer for guidance and protection, never taking anything for granted, realizing this journey is through a war zone. The following link is for background support.

My question, will I be an essential companion as I journey? Pondering, am I worthy of travelling with this companion? Understanding, only a few will recognize, who my companion is, and why, He continues being at my side, even though I am a constant challenge to Him. What comes to mind is a quote from my article “GET BEHIND ME SATAN” published June 14, 2018. Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) commentary reveals “What many don’t realize the disciples committed many mistakes and were guilty of weaknesses, they were defective in their duty.  They were very dull and forgetful. And often blundered. Yet their master passes all by and forgets it, he does not upbraid them with their infirmities. But gives them this memorable testimonial, “You are they who have continued with me.” Thus does he praise at parting, to show how willing he is to make the best of those whose hearts he knows to be upright with him.”

Now understanding the peacefulness in my life, even though, I’m surrounded by turmoil, unrest, and despair among those I’m reaching out too. What is being unveiled, by Yeshua, as my companion, is how to be as He is, “an unseen companion.” Who has lit the way to freedom, then align’s himself behind the scenes as a spiritual mentor and ongoing guide through the Holy Spirit as a messenger to those journeying through life on the narrow path. “Thus does he praise at parting, to show how willing he is to make the best of those whose hearts he knows to be upright with him.”

This article will introduce and reveal as a sower of God’s word, love, and compassion we the “Modern Day Disciples” can be an ongoing “shepherd” as [is] Yeshua our unseen “companion” always there always ready.

OPENING PRAYER by Robert

Father in heaven hear my prayers as I lay your servants before your throne. I ask you, Lord, as an unseen companion, to raise your children up when they might stumble and fall. To Be there as our Father when times are filled with turmoil, but more than anything Lord show your children the depth of your love and compassion as you journey with them. In little ways, Father let them, sense or feel your presence, as they go forward in your name searching for that one lost soul. So they might be filled with the confidence they are covered and blessed. Bring them before your throne Lord that they might see your reflection and recognize what a silent companion is to them a shepherd tending his flock. We pray in your name Yeshua Amen and Amen.

OPENING STATEMENT by Robert.

The Holy Spirit brought me to John 10, to understand and discern, what my silent companion was offering. And if I chose to follow in His footsteps, what would be expected of me, to offer as a silent companion.

In John10 Matthew Henry (1662 -1774) explains how Yeshua revealed His walk for those who desire to follow in His footsteps. “Our Lord laid not his life down for his doctrine, but for his sheep.” He described the gracious disposition and happy state of his sheep; they heard and believed his word, followed him as his faithful disciples, and none of them should perish; for the Son and the Father were one. Thus he was able to defend his sheep against all their enemies, which proves that he claimed Divine power and perfection equally with the Father. No weapon formed against our Lord Yeshua (Jesus), shall prosper. He escaped, not because he was afraid to suffer, but because his hour has not come. And He who knew how to deliver himself knows how to deliver the godly out of their temptations, and to make a way for them to escape.

Here is a parable or similitude, from the customs of the East, in the management of sheep. Men, as creatures depending on their Creator, are called the sheep of his pasture. The Assembly of God in the world is as a sheep-fold, exposed to deceivers and persecutors. The great Shepherd of the sheep knows all that is his, guards them by his providence, guides them by his Spirit and word, and goes before them, as the Eastern shepherds went before their sheep. To set them in the way of his steps. Shepherds must serve the sheep in their spiritual concerns. The Spirit of Christ will set before them an open door. The sheep of Yeshua will observe their Shepherd, and be cautious and shy of strangers, who would draw them from faith in him to fancies about him. I provide this link for the additional understanding of the dangers: https://romboughrobert.wordpress.com/2018/06/14/get-behind-me-satan/

Many who hear the word of Christ, do not understand it, because they will not. But we shall find one scripture expounding another, and the blessed Spirit making known the blessed Yeshua. Yeshua is the Door. And what greater security has the Assembly of God than that Yeshua is between it and all its enemies? He is a door open for passage and communication.

Here are plain directions how to come into the fold; we must come in by Yeshua. By faith in him as the great Mediator between God and man. Also, we have precious promises to those that observe this direction. Yeshua has all that care of his Assembly, and every believer, which a good shepherd has of his flock; and he expects the Assembly, and every believer, to wait on him, and to keep in his pasture.

Adam Clarke (1760 -1832) through his comments on John10:9 explains what our duty as a silent companion will look like as a shepherd. “Go in and out- This phrase, in the style of the Hebrews, points out all the actions of a man’s life, and the liberty he has of acting, or not acting. A good shepherd conducts his flock to the fields where good pasturage is to be found, watches over them while there, and brings them back again and secures them in the fold. So he, that is taught and called of God, feeds the flock with those truths of his word of grace which nourish them unto eternal life. And God blesses together both the shepherd and the sheep, so that going out and coming in they find pasture. Every occurrence is made useful to them, and all things work together for their good.

The modern-day heirlings posing as pastors ought to remember that whoever boasts of being the way of salvation, and the gate of heaven, shows himself to be a thief and an impostor.

And though few have arrived at this degree of folly, yet there are many who rely too much upon their own talents, eloquence, and labours, as if the salvation of the sheep depend necessarily thereon. In which respect they are always robbers since they rob the grace of Yeshua of the glory of saving the sheep.

God often puts such hirelings to shame, by not opening the hearts of the people to receive their word. While he blesses those who are humble, in causing them to be heard with attention and accompanying their preaching with an unction which converts and saves souls. Let every man know that in this respect his sufficiency and success are of the Lord.

CLOSING PRAYER by Robert

Heavenly Father in all humbleness we bow before your throne filled with overwhelming gratitude for your patient teaching. Thank you, Lord, for raising us to a new level of discernment, love, and compassion. Thank you, Father, for revealing our value and worth to those who have been rescued into your flock and thank you for placing your guiding hand on us to nurture them forward as a shepherd having the spirit of your Son Yeshua for us to guide and nourish those in the flock as silent companions. We pray this in the name of Yeshua. Amen and Amen.

 

CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert

Praise God for having some months ago heard His call to us to return to His law. To sit down and do an assessment of our walk and relationship with Yeshua. Here we are now learning how to be as Yeshua, is with us, a silent companion. How many of you recognize your prayer in support of your newly found convert, will be answered as a blessing for both. Do you realize as you become the shepherd you are still of our Lords flock and you’re being tended to as you go forward?
Get to know your peace and find the strength in it as your leading inspiration to serve. Because as I prayed for you, you will find it usually is a gentle nudge by Yeshua, letting you know he’s there covering your back as your Silent Companion. James 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up: and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

Remember these articles are messages given unto a humble servant as a Watchmen sounding the Trumpet of impending danger ahead. May our Father abundantly fill your plates. God’s blessings Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hands. Psalm 149:6
